NINE STEPS TO FORGIVENESS

1.  Know exactly how you feel about what happened and be able to articulate the issues of the situation that negatively affect you. Then, tell trusted people about your experience.

2.  Make a commitment to yourself to do what you have to do to feel better. Forgiveness is for you and not anyone else.

3.  Forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who hurt you, or condoning of the persons action. Your aim is to find peace. Forgiveness can be defined as the "peace and understanding that come from blaming that which has hurt you less, taking the life experience less personally, and changing your grievance story."

4.  Get the right perspective on what is happening. Recongnize that your primary distress is coming from the hurt feelings, thoughts and physical upset you are suffering now, not what offended you or hurt you 2 minutes or 10 years ago. Forgiveness helps to heal those hurt feelings.

5.  At the moment you feel upset, practice a simple stress managment technique to soothe your bodys "flight or fight" response.

6.  Give up expecting things from other people, or your life, that they do not choose to give you. Recognize the "unenforceable rules" you have for your health or how you or other people must behae. Remind yourself that you seek health, love, peace and prosperity and work hard to get them.

7.  Look for another way to get your positive goals met outside of the experience that has hurt you. Instead of mentally replaying you hurt, find new ways to get what you want.

8.  Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge. Instead of focusing on you wounded feelings ( which gives the person who caused you pain power over you), use your energy t look for the love, beauty and kindness in the world around you. Forgiveness is about personal power.

9.  Amend you grievance story to remind you of your own heroic choice to forgive.


As you step toward forgiveness, start with a small hurt. Practice the steps you shoud take, then try the steps out on a friend you trust.

In an early episode, society real estate broker Carolyn Shamis gets a tattoo on the small of her back.  In another, saleswoman Dee Simmons, inventor of Green Miracle Powder, officiates at her
